Although the goal was not scored, it still greatly encouraged the Manchester United fans at the scene.

This shows that Manchester United have now become active in attack, creating more chances.

Simeone also applauded United’s attack this time.

After the start of the second half, at least Manchester United are no longer as passive as they were in the first half.

“That’s right, that’s right! That’s it!! This is the real Manchester United!! ”

Although it was just an ordinary shot on goal, and it was not very exciting, it still made Madrid’s commentary very exciting, and the first half of the game was too humbling.

“Ronaldo’s shot was parried by Courtois, but from the beginning of the second half, Ronaldo took the initiative to increase the scope of his activities and closer contact with his teammates, so that Manchester United’s attack was much better than in the first half, and Atletico Madrid could not suppress Manchester United as they did in the first half for the time being.”

As the commentator of the Celestial Empire, Duan Xuan naturally paid more attention to Ronado’s performance.

Ronaldo’s shot won a corner for United.

All teams facing Manchester United will agree that they should try not to give Manchester United a set-piece in front, and the reason for this is of course self-evident.

But corners and set-pieces are always inevitable in a game, so now Atletico Madrid is in the penalty area.

Manchester United’s corners are usually handled by Juan Mata or Ashley Young, and it is Mata who stands in front of the ball.

Although Atletico Madrid were careful enough, it was Ronaldo who finally grabbed the header.

When Ronaldo jumped high and pressed Miranda to score with his head, there was a gasp in the stands of the Calderón stadium.

In the end, this sound turned into a collective cry of rejoicing.

Ronaldo’s header deflected slightly above the top and hit the outside of the upright and off the line.

Not only Atletico Madrid fans broke out in a cold sweat, but so did the players, Godin, Miranda, Thiago were all focusing on defending Ronaldo, but still let Ronado get the high point.

Such a high-altitude ball dominance in the penalty area is really terrifying.

“It’s too dangerous, Atletico Madrid really escaped, you have to restrict Ronaldo, the Celestial Empire striker, you can’t let him have such an opportunity in the box!” The Spanish commentator was also taken aback by the goal.

Even Simeone couldn’t sit still at the moment, and he was so startled by Ronaldo that he jumped up from the dugout and came to the sidelines.

If Manchester United had pulled one back at the start of the second half, it would have been difficult to say what the game would have been.

He pressed down with both hands and signaled to the players of Atletico Madrid not to rush.

Ronaldo was also standing in the box at the moment regretting the ball, and then he turned and ran towards his own half.

Simone looked at Ronaldo’s. A little longing flashed in his eyes, if only he had Ronaldo in his lineup….

He was certainly very impressed with Ronaldo, the centre-forward who has improved a lot in terms of technology over the past two years, but at the end of the day, his most important weapon is his strong body.

But it’s something that everyone knows, but you just can’t stop it.

This striker is not a reckless man full of muscles, he plays very smart, a muscle man you can easily stop him, but when you are dealing with a smart muscle man, the problem is big.

Since you can’t stop it, try not to let the other party have such an opportunity.

Atletico Madrid’s players certainly followed Simeone’s instructions.

After Courtois laid the ball in place, he kicked it to Godin, who received the ball and passed it to Felipe, who played at left-back.

Felipe took the ball and looked up a little and hurriedly passed the ball out again – because at the moment Manchester United did not return at all, the overall formation was pressed, and Manchester United’s front court pressed Atletico Madrid’s back field on the spot to launch a counter-attack.

Felipe is undoubtedly a world-class player, but he is not known for his dribbling skills, and as a defender, consistency is certainly the first consideration.

Therefore, although Mata, who pressed him on, did not look good defensively and made very strong moves, Felipe also chose to play safely. He passed the ball to F. Gabi, who came to meet in the open space.

Mata pounced on the wing, so the position in the middle is taken care of by Ronaldo.

F. Gabi was just about to catch the ball when he sensed danger behind him, and Ronaldo was lunging at him behind him.

F. Gabi is experienced and certainly not intimidated by this, and after receiving the ball, he calmly passes the ball back to another central defender, Miranda.

Simeone frowned on the sidelines, and although the ball was passed around and did not concede, Manchester United kept an eye on almost every player at Atletico Madrid, making it very difficult for Atletico Madrid to advance with short passes.

Of course, Atletico Madrid can also hit Manchester United directly behind with a long pass, allowing Diego Costa, Raul Garcia and Koke to threaten Manchester United’s goal in this more direct way.

But this is not a high success rate, because United’s two central defenders are physically strong and good at defending head-on.

Since Felipe can’t do it here, let’s go the other side.

Miranda passed the ball to full-back Juan Forlan on the other side.

Juan Forlan didn’t let his feet stay at his feet for long, after all, the pressure of Manchester United’s pressing was still very high, and he smoothed the ball to another midfielder, Thiago.

Thiago is also an experienced player, as a midfielder of Atletico Madrid for many years, he handled the ball calmly, in the face of Valencia’s close pressing, he did not appear to panic, but after protecting the ball, his right foot gently knocked past Valencia.

This position is already some distance from the goal of Atletico Madrid, so Thiago dared to make such a move.

Since it is difficult to pass the ball to the front, proper passing is also allowed.

Simeone’s coaching of Atletico Madrid over the past two seasons has clearly been fruitful.

Now this Atletico Madrid is completely a Simeone-style team. _
